I was sent a case for 3 g I phone the invoice clearly stated that it was 1G and it was gift I gave it as a gift to someone that really helped me outwell needless to say I was real embarrasssed with the mistake the shippermade I offered to send it back and he said maybe someday he might get a 3 g phone and thru it in his truck it sure made me feel small the cases are great when you get the right one.my expereince was bad
I do see bits of the oil slick from time to time but it is minimal.I feel that the oil slick issue is overblown and that it was written immediately after receiving the product. Again, after a few days, the oil slick was gone. When I snapped the case back on the phone the oil slick reappeared.
The most frequent complaint I saw was regarding the oil slick under the screen. The oil slick evaporated. I read lots of review for the Otterbox for iPhone 1g.
I needed to get to the mute button which required that I open the case. Have patience and the issue will go away. I have been using this case for about three weeks.
I did notice the oil slick when I put the phone in the case but after a few days it was gone.
I have been using this case traveling and hiking around. I know most people are using 3G iPhone now. They told me that the silicone skin is also under warranty; as a result, I am going to have a replacement for free.I just totally love this case.I really have two thumbs up (three if I had three) for this product if you are looking for something really protective but not overly bulky. All of a sudden, the phone fell out of my pocket onto the ground. The silicone layer got wore off after one year. I am especially impressed by its durability.
OtterBox also has a case for the 3G iPhone. I have a first generation iPhone and have been using this case for a year. If you are looking for a protective case for your iPhone, I think it is one of the very few good choices out there.Some of my friends told me that it is a bit bulky; however, I am kind of an active sports person so I want to have the maximum protection I can have. It solves all the glare and oil bubble issues.You know what is the most awesome part of this case.
My solution is to put a anti-glare skin on the screen first before I put the phone in the case. Without the OtterBox case, my iPhone would have gone for a long time.Most of the complaints I have heard about this OtterBox case is that the membrane covering the screen creating a lot of glare. I thought it did not include the silicone skin. I do not have one but I can imagine its quality, if not better than, should be as good as the one I am having now.
Guess what. It happened so fast that I could not even stop my bike. However, I love this case so much so that I wrote to OtterBox and asked if I could purchase the silicone skin only. Although this case is not completely 100% water proof, it can stand almost everything except if the iPhone gets emerged under water (OtterBox does have a water-proof case for iPhone, if you are a hard-core-water-sports person).
I read the warranty and it says that the case carries a life-time warranty. At that moment, I thought it would be over; but guess what, it was completely fine and worked as well as before. One time, I was riding my bike and had my iPhone in my pants' pocket listening to music. As a result, the rear wheel of my bike ran over the iPhone.
Only other complaint is how badly the case muffles the speakers and earphone.had lots of people on phone calls say they had trouble hearing me. I would highly recommend this case over everything else on the market. This is by far the best iPhone case I have ever used. I actually cut away the speaker and earphone cover material and now is all well in the world.The thing is rock solid and gives great piece of mind that my iPhone is very protected. If I had to chose a second place case, it would be the Oakley. Nevertheless it is not perfect. My gripes would be the oil slicked looked of the screen cover.tried everything suggested to remedy, but in the end had to run an adhesive screen cover under the Otterbox one.
I have no oil slick and is clean as a whistle. Then there is the oil slick. Do not submerge the phone; just wipe the front and don't allow any water to seep in; use good adult judgment. Here is my cure for that: (1) Take the Otterbox apart and gently rub both pieces in warm to hot water (yes, water) with Dawn (yes, dishwash that cuts "oil and grease") (2) Rinse thoroughly in clean, warm to hot water (3) Allow to dry completely in open air (4) Take some cleaning solution used for contact lenses and clean the front of the iPhone and the otterbox clear cover protector, front and back (5) Allow to dry thoroughly and you're in business.
I have read all the reviews, good and bad. Even the Otterbox is not oily feeling anymore. Last, this is at your own risk but worked great for me. Having said that, the Otterbox for the iPhone 3G is the best thing since "sliced bread." Yes, I know there are some issues with the mute button.
Final note, don't get silly with the water and dawn, be very conservative and warm to hot water is key. So, in closing, just love your otterbox, care for it, clean it, and it will never fail you--like a trusted friend :). Drop it once (as I did) and you will find out what mute really means. Well, when you open the package you may notice that your Otterbox is oily and generally appears to have come from "oily" origins--possibly a petroleum based product.
